How can OmniDefend’s MFA Secure Your Organization?

OmniDefend’s Multi-Factor Authentication secures your workforce by allowing your organization to use multiple authentication factors for single sign-on (SSO) and desktop security. OmniDefend uses leading-edge biometric technology to support fast 1:1 validation and 1:N identification of user identities. Support for industry standards like FIDO2 WebAuthn allows you to use strong authentication devices that are built into your Windows laptop, iOS and Android-based phones and tablets. That’s right, we also have an authenticator app for your mobile devices.

How OmniDefend MFA Works

OmniDefend MFA adds a security layer to your applications, devices, and networks by enforcing two or more verification factors at login. These factors include:

  • Something you know (password, PIN)
  • Something you have (smartphone, hardware token, smart card)
  • Something you are (biometric information such as fingerprint, face, or voice)

You can deploy OmniDefend with your existing setup by utilizing API connectors, LDAP/AD integration, or third-party identity providers. No matter whether users are connecting to cloud apps, remote desktops, VPNs, or legacy systems, OmniDefend provides strong authentication across all access points.

Biometric Devices

OmniDefend is one of the best MFA solutions for your organization, as your employees can use their fingerprint, face, signature, palm vein, and/or voice authentication to securely access applications. These biometric authenticators can work in 1:1 (validation) or 1:N (identification) mode. OmniDefend’s fingerprint matcher can be used for large-scale identification of a single fingerprint from a database of 50 million in under 3 seconds.

Smart Cards

Use a smart card or your employee badge card on our multi factor authentication software to authenticate. OmniDefend’s smart card support works with standard PC/SC compatible readers and cards that have a Windows smart card minidriver available. Fingerprint match-on-card can be enabled for 3 factors of authentication (card + biometric + PIN).

One-Time Passwords

Secure your enterprise with an eye on cost while simultaneously focusing on authentication security. OmniDefend works with OATH TOTP and HOTP-compatible OTP devices. This includes tokens, cards and mobile authenticators that implement these widely used standards. Often these are the cheapest (and even free) MFA devices available.

Mobile Authenticator

Download OmniDefend’s FIDO UAF compatible mobile authenticator and get a push message on your mobile phone when you try to login to a critical business application. Authenticating on your mobile phone in response to the push message completes the authentication and signs you in securely. It only requires a valid phone number and you can access our authentication service on the go.

FIDO2 WebAuthN

Use a FIDO2 WebAuthN compatible authenticator that is built into or attached to your mobile phone or PC. This new standard does not require any client software to be installed on the PC or phone and is very simple for a user to setup and use.

Authentication Flow Example:

  • User enters username and password
  • System evaluates risk via policy engine (location, device, IP, etc.)
  • Based on risk score, the user is prompted for a second factor (e.g., mobile push, fingerprint, or OTP)
  • Access is granted or denied

Frequently Asked Questions

Multi-factor authentication is the authentication process in which users are asked to present two or more authentication factors to be able to access an application or system. This usually involves asking users to present a combination of something they know (like a password), something they possess (like hardware or a phone), or something they are (like a biometric factor, like a fingerprint).

OmniDefend MFA is a cloud-based offering that allows organizations to easily and rapidly incorporate multiple layers of authentication into their current applications, networks, and other systems. It rides on existing forms of authentication like passwords, hardware tokens, and biometric data, and adds a further layer of protection by imposing an additional factor, i.e., one-time passcode or biometric scan.

OmniDefend MFA facilitates many types of authentication methods, such as passwords, hardware tokens, biometrics, one-time passcodes, etc.
